What now for Syria's Kurds?


Listen Later

The so-called Rojava revolution brought radical social change in the Kurdish regions of northern Syria: equality and representation regardless of religion, ethnicity or gender. It was their armies which battled so-called Islamic State. But with IS largely defeated, US forces poised to pull out of Syria, and Turkey opposed to this political entity, Roj Ranjbar of BBC Monitoring and Jiyar Gol of BBC Persian, Kurds from Iraq and Iran, discuss the future of the Rojava revolution.
